ABSTRACT: Among all the formulation described for arsharoga in Rasashastra text, Nityodita Rasa is the better herbomineral formulation. Nowadays market sample of this Rasaushadhi is not available, so preparation for standardization of Nityodita rasa was very difficult task.this is the formulation very effective and potent for vatakaphaj arsha and jirna raktarsha. The basic reference regarding Nityodita rasa under the arsha rogadhikara was found in Rasendrasara samgraha. For standardization three batches of Nityodita rasa were prepared. Rasasindur mainly used in vatakaphaja arsha, abhrakabhasma poses tissue restoration, regulates dhatu pariposhana, hence can be useful in vatakaphaj arsha and jirna raktarsha for better improvement. In jirna raktarsha atrophy, degeneration of muscles and nerves at anal region causes painful condition, where lohabhasma gives relief from such condition. Main property of tamrabhasma is lekhana, hence useful in jirna raktarsha. Vatsanabha possesses the properties like jwarashamaka, swedala hence can be used in kaphanubandhi arsha. Bhallataka mainly acts in vatakaphaj arsha and used in kaphaj agnimandya janya arsha. Suranakanda is best dravya in arsha. Because of that these were the ingredients taken for preparation of Nityodita rasa. Nityodita rasa vati were prepared without disturbing proportions in three batches. For concrete establishment of standard operating procedure for the preparation of Nityodita rasa, more extensive study with preparation of this kalpa by both conventional and modern method by adopting various references should be needed. Also animal trial of such a wonderful drug should be needed for efficacy of drug in arsharoga. Keywords: Rasaushadhi, Nityodita Rasa, Standardization, Arsharoga. INTRODUCTION: Now a day s medicines). Rasaushadhi (Herbomineral Rasaushadhi (Herbomineral drugs) becomes more and more popular, because of their uniqueness, acts in low doses, highly potential, don t having annoying taste, gives quick result and hence having edge drugs) helps ayurvedic practitioners to compete with modern medicine, because it acts in low doses, more potent, gives quick and permanent relief from disease.

Nityodita rasa is a complex formulation as it contains Rasasindur, swarasa was used as bhavanadravya which slowly added to the mixture till it became wet and triturated.

Quality of final product depends on the raw drug selection. For the preparation of drug the raw material was selected according to grahyalakshanas and on the basis of analysis in laboratory. Analysis of raw material suggests it is of good quality. It concludes that although a criteria for raw material selection is subjective, but it is of great significance.there are so many formulations available in the text for the treatment of Arsharoga, but Nityodita rasa is one of the best formulation of Rasashastra mentioned in the text. Nityodita Rasa is the combination of Kupipakva rasayana and Kharaliya rasayana containing Rasasindur, Bhasmas like Abhraka, Loha, Tamrabhasma and Vishadravyas like Vatsanabha, Bhallataka. In Nityodita Rasa, Triphala kwatha was used for Lohabhasma preparation, Because it enhances Pachana and absorption of Loha, also relieves malavashtambha (constipation) caused by lohabhasma which is very usefull in Nityodita rasa. Suranakanda swarasa is used as bhavanadravya which was prepared by putapaka method, mainly used for the purpose of Anuloman and property of Surankanda is arshoghna 13. Nityodita rasa is one of the best formulation in the ancient Rasashastra. With the help of various test analysis of drug done by modern instruments and after clinical trials may able to show reality of mercurial drugs, while the modern medicinal peoples are discussing about side effects of such drugs. Nityodita rasa plays a vital role in chronic bleeding piles (jirna raktarsha) and vatakaphaj arsha. For concrete establishment of standard operating procedure for the preparation of Nityodita rasa, more extensive study with preparation of this kalpa by both conventional and modern method by adopting various references should be needed.
